Abstract: Methods and devices for the detection and/or quantification of an analyte in a sample are provided. These are positive detection methods and devices, in that the more analyte is present in the sample, the stronger the signal that is provided. Devices of the invention include a mobilization zone including a mobile or mobilizable detectable analyte analog, a sample application area, primary and secondary capture areas each including an immobilized binding partner having a binding affinity for the analyte being tested for a detectable analyte analog. The mobilization zone, sample application area, primary and secondary capture area are in fluid continuous contact with each other. In these devices, the first immobilized binding partner has an equal or lower apparent affinity for the analyte than it has for the detectable analyte analog.

Abstract: An electronic sensor of the contactless type has a free-running oscillator with internal positive feedback supplemented by an external negative feedback including a capacitive path whose impedance is normally high but is lowered in the presence of an object to be detected, thereby reducing the output signal of the oscillator from a normal amplitude above a predetermined level to a diminished amplitude below that level. The negative feedback is provided through an IGFET, e.g. of n-channel depletion type, with the aid of a capacitor bridging its source and gate electrodes to form with the external capacitance a voltage divider for the output signal of the oscillator.

Abstract: A contactless motion detector is energized in series with a load from a source of direct current via a pair of supply leads connected across a binary switching circuit in parallel with a voltage-generating network designed to deliver operating current to the detector in either switching position. The switching circuit comprises a main electronic switch, designed as a transistor, which is turned on or off by an output signal of the detector and in turn controls an ancillary electronic switch (transistor or thyristor) whose conduction intensifies the load current. When both electronic switches are transistors, they are interconnected in a positive-feedback loop driving them into conduction as soon as the main transistor is turned on; the base current of the ancillary transistor then contributes significantly to the load current while its collector current helps maintain the energization of the detector. The voltage-generating network includes a current limiter as well as a constant-voltage generator, e.g.
